Soon they would be irrelevant: In 1866 Congress declared the metric system to be the basis of measurement in the United States. You read that right. Even
though most Americans still aren't entirely clear how long a centimeter is, for more than a century the metric system has been the foundation on which
American measures were defined. In 1893 the U.S. pound was officially described as 0.4535924277 kilogram, and the yard, 3600/3937 meter.
Given the problem with NASA and that we are truly going into a century of science. The USA needs to move to the metric system. It may take 25 years but it worth it. The US need to stop thinking they live in a bubble.
This man wants to stir things up. Got to love it. But he is not the only one doing somethng like this. The only problem if there is not a centralize operation we will just end up with a islands of domains that can not see each other. He needs to break and join the system at the same time in order for this to work right. I wish him all the luck in the world.
OpenBSD also advanced the state of code auditing. Beginning in 1996, the OpenBSD team began a line-by-line analysis of the entire operating system searching for security holes and potential bugs. Unix systems have been plagued for decades by the use of fixed-sized buffers
Is that fact you can run X apps on this baby. All in all I think this will be a winner when it comes out. Next week's pay check might go to getting one of the preleases hey why not.
Alot of companies will put with this. Even though there are alternatives. Reason why why? That lack of day to day business apps on the OSS OSes. Lack of uniformity between them and and some people rather live in a known hell than a unknown heaven.
It is hard control a product like which is self replicating. It is almost like software in a since it is very hard to stop copying. Especialy when you have your product reproducing it. I guess they are trying to make a stand on it now so other will not do the same. I wonder if thsi could be a new business model plant your product in someone yard then demand money for it. Let me go to the patent office right now.

NASA Langley to test New Hyper Computer System
Computing Faster Than Engineers Can Think
NASA Langley engineers are exploring new tools and techniques that may move them and the projects they develop beyond the serial world into a parallel universe.
Via a Space Act Agreement, NASA Langley Research Center will receive a HAL (Hyper Algorithmic Logic)-15 Hypercomputer from Star Bridge Systems, Inc. of Midvale, Utah. The system is said to be faster and more versatile than any supercomputer on the market and will change the way we think about computational methods.
Taking up no more space than a standard desktop computer and using no more electrical current than an hair drier, the HAL-15 is the first of a new breed of high performance computer that replaces the traditional central processing units with faster Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). These are specialty chips on a circuit board that can reconfigure themselves hundreds or thousands of times a second. This makes it possible for multiple applications to run at the same time on the same chips making them 1000 times faster than traditional commercial CPUs. This maximizes the use of millions of transistors (gates) on each silicon array. Traditional processors, because of their general purpose design, are wasteful, since for most applications they use only a small fraction of their silicon at any time.
HAL is programmed graphically using the company?s proprietary programming language, VIVA. This language facilitates rapid custom software development by the system?s users. Besides NASA Langley, other users will include the San Diego Supercomputer Center, Department of Defense, Hollywood film industry and the telecommunications industry.

NASA Langley is among the first in the world to get ?hands on? experience with the new system. It will be implemented to explore:
-Solutions for structural, electromagnetic and fluid analysis
-Radiation analysis for astronaut safety
-Atmospheric science analysis
-Digital signal processing
-Pattern recognition
-Acoustic analysis
Media Briefing: A media briefing will be held at 9 a.m., Tuesday, March 27, at the Pearl Young Theater Newsroom, Bldg. 1202, 5 North Dryden Street at NASA Langley Research Center. There will be a news briefing and short demonstration at 9 am followed by a demonstration and discussion for scientists and engineers. HAL developer Kent Gilson and Star Bridge Systems, Inc. CEO Brent Ward will conduct the demonstration. Two Langley researchers, Dr. Robert Singletarry and Dr. Olaf Storaasli, trained on the new system and will report on their first-hand experiences with the hypercomputer.
The virtual tip jar if the user wants to thank them for a great product then it will be at the user choice. But hey they can do what ever they want it is thier company.
Any technology getting right the first time is very difficult. In time they will get better in the process of creating clones. So this is no big suprise.
The last time I have tried Abiword the RTF filter was working kind of funky. Other that it was a pretty good word processor for small uncomplicated documents. I should give it another try.
Such an great resource being shared. After learning how to do network programming this will be my next endeavor
That is why you keep on track

New Linux Worm
·
· Score: 1
Of the lastest releases of software that you have on your system or pay someone to do it for you. Not to say the fact someone does this it is right to use such a worm but since we are in a world whee these thing exsists you have to be wary.
They overturn the verdict because it might hurt any who wish to any type of publication. We need people will write the stories that will make america stand on thier hind legs.
Implements new technology without thinking of the consquence this is what happen. Can you imagine that these people have access to those companies network automaticly. The network admin needs to be shot.
We can not only have one company to handle Digital Signatures. The internet community should create a non profit company to help with this problem. I am assuming that Microsoft is not the only company that this has happened to.
Companies are thier to make money. Like it or not they are going to protect what ever they seem valuable. On the other side is the employee who needs a job and want to do what ever they can to do well at the new place of employment. I seen have this happen before. It is not a nice thing to go through on either side.

If the air force will hire the EFF to help them with the case.
Coming out with .NET for linux and Windows XP what do you invison as the next step for RedHat/Linux in the market place.

HAL is just one letter off to IBM
Some has done the same for Linux

In the up coming months whether Redhat will be agian a hot stock. With the economy slowing down it is good to see this company making it.
